Equipment

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries
  • 14 ounces white chocolate finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Coating

  • 14 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • ½ cup freeze-dried raspberries

Instructions

  • Prepare the raspberry dust. Add 1 cup of the freeze-dried raspberries to a food processor and blend into a fine powder. Set aside.
  • Melt the ganache base. Place the finely chopped white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream just to a simmer on the stove, then pour it over the white chocolate mixture.
  • Stir and flavor. Let the bowl sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to melt, then stir until smooth. Stir in the raspberry powder until fully incorporated.
  • Chill. Chill the mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  • Shape the truffles. Scoop and roll the chilled mixture into small balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Dip and finish. Melt the bittersweet chocolate. Dip each cold truffle, letting the excess drip off. Immediately crush the remaining ½ cup of freeze-dried raspberries and sprinkle them on top before the chocolate sets. Chill until firm.

Notes

Storage: Keep these in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month.
Doubling the recipe: If you double this for gifts, pour the warm ganache into a shallow 9x13 dish to chill. This increases surface area so the center sets properly.
